They were both fighting in the same shit regional feeder leagues before the UFC, Conor's was closer to where he lived, Khabib's was were closer to where he lived. Khabib also beat a future bellator title contender in one of those leagues, while Conor won a shit belt in the feeder league by beaten a guy who had just lost to Artem Lobov.
3 years into their pro career, Conor didn't even have 1 win in cage warriors. He had 1 fight and got finished in 38 seconds, then had to go back to "chaos fighting championships" and "immortal fighting championships" in a high school gym and work his way back to the shitty feeder league. Conor was already more than 3 years into his career and taking multiple losses before working his way back up to what you are pretending is the big leagues of shitty regional orgs to fight a guy who was 2-1(now 6-6) and dudes who just lost to Artem Lobov.
Khabib was already in the UFC at the same point in their career that Conor had worked his way back to "cage warriors". He doesn't get extra points for being less active and losing to the cans he was fighting.
